Fox News
The suicide bomb attack at the Abbey Gate of Hamid Karzai International Airport in Afghanistan that killed 13 U.S. servicemembers and injured at least 170 civilians was conducted by a single attacker and was not followed up by enemy gunfire, the Pentagon said Friday.
The key findings of the investigations indicate that the bombing did not amount to a complex attack that did not kill any U.S. or civilians post-blast. Only one explosion occurred, and anyone caught in the blast could not be saved.
Investigators found no gunshot wounds among those injured. The ball bearings in the explosive, along with the gunshots fired at the time as "warning shots," led to the belief that some had been shot during the explosion.
